5 HELLO Heading here, but remove 'display: none;' on row (above; leave just '|-')
Hi, I'm Alyo (he/him, formerly User:Nolelover), and I used to edit a lot. Unfortunately I don't have as much time as I used to, so my activity is limited to fixing whatever little errors I come across in my standard Wikipedia usage and a couple of pet projects. Feel free to ping me on my talk page or email me if necessary. I will never reach out to you on LinkedIn or any other site--if someone claims to be me, that is an impersonator.

In memory of simpler times I hereby award Nolelover the Barnstar eaten by a bear award for performing "the worlds most tedious edit".

I had been trying to remove cruft a couple months ago, but I had hit a roadblock where I wasn't sure what warranted removal and what should have been kept. However, after you removed those things, I realized just how crufty they were (I'm weird like that).

Task Center For a less beginner-friendly but more comprehensive list of tasks on Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Maintenance. Welcome to the Wikipedia Task Center! What do Wikipedians do? If you are looking for a way to help, find a task that suits you, read the appropriate background pages, and be bold. And if you are here for the fuzzy feeling, stand back and marvel at the range of work that is done daily by other Wikipedians. Maintenance Fact-Checking Suitable for all editors Help to verify articles' information, add sources, and fix links. Sometimes, editors add information without adding sources to back it up. And sometimes sources get old and links no longer work (known as "linkrot"). Your job will be to add sources, verify content, and repair linkrot. More Information WP:Link rot WP:Identifying reliable sources WP:Citing sources WP:Verifiability Do It! Fix unsourced statements with Citation Hunt Go to a random page in Category:All articles lacking sources Go to a random page in Category:All articles that may contain original research Go to a random page in Category:Wikipedia articles needing factual verification from December 2024 Go to a random page in Category:All articles with bare URLs for citations Go to a random page in Category:Articles with dead external links Categorization Suitable for all editors Help put pages into their proper categories.

Go to a random page in Category:All uncategorized pages Special:Newpages Go to a random page in Category:Articles needing additional categories from December 2024 Copy editing Suitable for all editors Help keep Wikipedia articles clear, clean, and easy to read. Articles created in a rush often have various grammar or tone issues. Please help fix them to make the article decent for the public. Note: this task does require a very high level of English writing skill, and is not a recommended task for editors with less than professional proficiency. Editors interested in this task should also familiarise themselves with Wikipedia's Manual of Style. More Information WP:Neutral point of view WP:Basic copyediting How to copy edit Do It!
